47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[Constantine]

The plan was for him to replace David Silva. I'm not sure him and Pep have given up on that.

Yeah, the Stockport Iniesta thing is only partly a joke. He's not reached his peak yet, he could really be as valuable and important and quality for us as Iniesta was for peak Pep Barca.

Obviously, but I don't believe for one second he's dragging players off at half time as punishment for that.

Maybe not.probably not. Who knows.
But there have been great managers who have pulled players ,on a whim,in similar circumstances
Brian Clough springs to mind.on more than one occasion...
I can't quite remember the detail.but Clough pulled either asa Hartford or Gary merson for actually taking a shot from distance. It's years ago now but he said something like your not picked to shoot from there.

I can also vaguely remember Clough deliberately pulling a player off knowing his team would be down to 9 men.i seem to remember Steve Hodge was involved somehow....maybe Forest fans can help me out here but Forest definitely finished a match with 9 men after Clough,angry at a players action,subbed a player when he didn't need to.

Sorry I can't provide further detail.;)

Extremely poor from Foden to not pass two games in a row. The only thing stopping him from going to the top is what's between his ears. I wish he had the intelligence of Gundogan.

 

[Isaac the Forgemaster]

Selfish again. FFS Foden.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

I love the guy but that's two games in a row now he's gone for a stupid attempt at glory instead of making a basic pass to Haaland for a tap in.

He needs to knock this shit on the head.

 

[Itd]

Again...

 

[jimharri]

Phil is out of sorts so far this season. Ineffective again today.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Time for a bit of time out.

 

[Akai]

surprised Pep didn't sub him with that shitty performance.. or maybe I shouldn't!

 

[city2]

Been below standard today no doubt about it.

 

[Blue Smarties]

Think it’ll be a Alvarez first home start next Saturday.

 

[RandomJ]

Not only should he be benched he should go to the bottom of the queue for that position now. Refusing to pass to our goal scorer in a promising position twice is just taking the piss. What's the matter Phil? Can't stand there is a younger player getting more headlines than you?

 

[Dzeko9]

Selfish. Enough

 

[Chak19]

Absolute rubbish today.

 

[christened at st marks]

he needs to seriously pick up his game and stop the greedy ways

 

[BLUEisville]

Worrying signs.

I hope to see Alvarez to be start the next match, and on his previous performances Phil is going to have quite the battle to get back in the team.

 

[argyle]

Piss poor.

Believing his own hype?

Not even looking up for passes and deciding to shoot. Twice in this game.

 

[buckshot]

He needs to spend a week in training doing nothing but passing to Haaland. He should have to run an entire marathon for each shot he attempts.

If he trains properly for a whole week I'd still bench him. Teams with selfish players don't win much.

 

[Gumzy97]

Greedy.
